So what is really the answer?
orange
During combustion, energy is released. Some of this energy takes the form of light, making the flame visible.
Sodium of course...
back up
it burns white, but when mixed with potasium nirtate, it burns purple/violet
what the! why can't you give answers answers.com
Glowing gases observed during combustion is called a "flame."

Some precautions are to not wear loose or baggy clothing that could fall or blow into the flame; don't have any combustible or flamable items or chemicals nearby; don't stand down wind of the fire if it is windy; don't get close enough to get burned; never leave an open flame unattended.
Electrons are excited to higher energy levels and their emissions are observed.

Sodium of course...
Emission spectrum of the elements placed in the flame. The flame test is usually applied when Sodium, Potassium or other such metals are thought to be present since they give a very noticeable result - Sodium gives orange colour to the flame (as it does to sodium street lighting!) - Potassium gives a lilac colour etc

Because the flame itself is the hot gas.Every gas(hot) have a tendency to go upward.
